Barbara is a fashion influencer who posts about #girlpower all day long but is too busy partying to attend a protest. Elise is an awkward English exchange student who's come to Australia to reinvent herself as a one woman Pussy Riot but is a bit too scared of getting in trouble. After a chance meeting in art class, and fed up with the boyfriends and professors in their lives, the two girls decide to take a stand. In the dead of night and drunk as skunks, they deface the University Quadrangle, spray-painting it with the words 'Kill All Men'. The next morning they wake to news that the university's star rugby player has been murdered, castrated, and plonked on top of their political statement with those very same words carved into his chest. Sure, Elise and Barbara could tell the cops about their co-opted political statement, but the terms of Elise's scholarship stipulate 'no misconduct', and Barbara's extensive list of Insta endorsement deals rests on her being strictly apolitical. So now it's up to the girls to erase their ties to the crime, and track down the real culprit. Simple, right? They wish.

Two days after Scott's murder and shit has truly hit the fan. Campus radical feminist Prue has been detained by Shepherd and Roach under suspicion of killing Scott. The Vice Chancellor is pleading for the students to remain calm. And an anonymous antagonist has left a note left on Barbara's car reading 'You Didn't Get Away With It'. But that's not all. The police are checking every camera on campus for evidence and it just so happens there is one in the art room with footage of Barbara and Elise making their sculpture on the night of the murder. It's a classic juggling act as the girls must figure out a way to destroy the footage before the police can get it, while having enough time to meet their anonymous antagonist in the library, while also keeping up their usual appearances of Campus Queen and Eccentric Exchange Student. It's chaos. But as the old saying goes, chaos breeds less chaos. Wait, that doesn't sound right…

Two men are now dead and the 'Kill All Men Killer' remains at large. Rory and the rugby boys hold a moving memorial for Scott as the Men's Rights Activists conduct their own kind of mourning; posting an illegally acquired photo of Lyle's dead body to stir up support for their cause. Barbara and Elise are panicking — if they can't find the killer soon, then the police investigation will surely turn its sights on them. And so they take the investigation into their own hands. The two girls attend University Club Day to try and find the guilty feminist and are met with a concoction of clubs neither of them had ever thought they'd experience — Church Goers, Jane Austen-ites, Ethical Porn Club, even a booth for Witches and Wiccans. It seems like anyone here could be just off kilter enough to have murdered Scott and Lyle. After much investigation, they manage to whittle down their suspects to three, with the Wiccans looking like the guilty party. But when Barbara catches them pursuing a jock into the woods and makes chase, her suspicions are turned completely on their head…

The gender war on campus may have begun, but Barbara has other things on her mind: the illustrious Stephens College 'Buck and Doe Ceremony' where the Footy Team 'Buck' chooses his 'Doe' to be the socialite couple of the season. And she and Rory are the far away favourites to receive the crown. Meanwhile, Elise is on the hunt for clues when Prue gives her a personal invitation to the feminist protest party taking place in the Women's Room, along with a strange indication she may know something about Elise and Barbara's involvement in the campus murders. Elise drags Barbara to the party and they're met with a day of debauchery, alcohol, and a strange game by the name of 'Clit-Pong'. Things are all going to plan, until they're not. The protest party is raided by Shepherd and Roach, Barbara finds her Doe status under threat, and Elise becomes a victim of radical feminist peer pressure. As the day draws to a close and emotions are high, both Barbara and Elise will be forced to reveal secrets that they'd much rather keep hidden.

Episode 5

Directed by Anne Renton

The events of the previous day weigh heavy on Elise and Barbara's friendship. Barbara is no longer top dog, and in turn, lashes out at Elise, calling her a 'stalker'. Naturally Barbara is desperate to find Debbie and Jess and reclaim her old life and social status, but unfortunately the girls must investigate their hot tip from Prue, and infiltrate CJUDS to befriend prime suspect Kaye Blanchett. As the girls rift deepens, Elise gains an unlikely friend in the quirky and slightly insane theatre prodigy Kaye, as the two bond over a mutual passion of prop comedy and monologuing to oneself. Meanwhile, Shepherd and Roach have made a gruesome discovery in the Campus Crime Tip Off Box. It's definitely a tip, just not the kind they were hoping for. And if they can't find the male student this 'tip' belongs to soon, the doctors have advised that the boy will die. As Elise and Barbara delve deeper into the Drama Society, they're faced with more threats from the unhinged Jenny, the growing tension in their friendship, and Barbara's nagging feeling that the fun and theatrical Kaye may be far more dangerous than she appears.

Donna Jernejcic has been arrested. Elise and Barbara have rekindled their friendship and no longer have a killer the catch. And the annual Stephens College Cops & Tarts Party is at hand. We are so back. Elise and Barbara arrive at the social event of the season and they could be more aligned — save Barbara's reputation, kick start Elise's, and party the college down. The girls split up on entering the party and take it by storm: Barbara and Rory have a sexually-charged fight for the ages, while Elise's unorthodox dance moves earn her the crown of life of the party. Meanwhile, Shepherd and Roach interrogate Donna Jernejcic and things just aren't adding up. The Vice Chancellor may want a killer locked up STAT, but to Shepherd and Roach it's starting to look more and more like this girl didn't do it. Back at the party and things have descended into drunken chaos. Rad Fem Prue and Men's Rights Activist Jared have the biggest regret hookup known to man, Barbara is confronted with a truth she would much rather forget, and Elise stumbles upon the body of a third murder victim.

Our episode opens just a day after Ivan's death, with Elise laying flowers at his newly-erected memorial. But she doesn't have time for mourning as she sees that, across grass, the archaeology students have set up a new practice dig… And it's exactly where she and Barbara buried the art supplies that link them to the quad the night of Scott's murder. Unfortunately Barbara has other things on her mind — her conversation with Maya has made her want to unpack the assault she was victim to inside her college, and so she's going to group therapy. Elise wants to be there to support her friend, but unfortunately she also needs to make sure the archaeology students don't dig up their shit and get them arrested. What follows is a terrible game of tennis as she pings back and forth between group therapy and the archaeology dig, doing her best to deter the archaeology students from digging while also being an emotionally available and supportive friend to Barbara. Meanwhile, Shepherd is officially dropped from the case, but stays investigating in the shadows as the Vice Chancellor imposes a total protest ban on campus. And when Elise fails to stop the Archaeology Club from digging up their evidence, Shepherd will zero in on Barbara, revealing a truth about the murders that no one on campus saw coming.

We open our finale on the day of Scott's murder. We see our killer moments before his death, then transporting then body, then finding Elise and Barbara's art sculpture and deciding to co-opt it. Back to the present and the campus is in turmoil — Elise is packing her bags for England, heartbroken at the fallout of her and Barbara's friendship. The Vice Chancellor is explaining to the women on campus that Jared will not be going to jail and instead be receiving free therapy from the university. And the Bucks Rugby Team is kicking off their official Federation Games celebration with The Captain's Luncheon — a debaucherous and hyper-masculine meal led by the team captain. Elise is on her way to the airport when she runs into a furious Jenny, demanding to speak to Barbara. Lucky for them, Jenny secretly installed a totally-legal-and-not-at-all-a-virus tracking device on Barbara's phone while she wasn't looking. The two find Barbara bound and gagged in the ceramics room. She fills them in — the killer tasered her last night and tied her up, and she's going to assassinate the entire university rugby team if they don't stop her. What follows is a race against time as Barbara and Elise rush to save the Bucks Rugby Team before it's too late. But to succeed they'll have to overcome more than just the killer's master plan. Infiltrating the Captains Luncheon undercover. Disarming a live bomb. And even a dangerous encounter with Kangaroo testicles are just some of the challenges that the girls will have to face as they hunt the killer to the campus roof. But when they've finally caught her, she'll reveal a truth that no one expected.
